Basimilus Iteritas Alter Overview + Jam 

Overview Starts @2:06 Jam Starts @8:37 - Thanks for checking it out!

this was the video that sold me on the BIA... 2 years later and still my favourite module!

Absolutely awesome overview of an astonishing module. Instant subscribe. And thanks so much for opening my eyes to even more secrets contained within this module....

That was amazing man, superb!

Agree, Basimilus Iteratus is a great module for so many thinks beyond percussion. I use is in pretty much all of my patches.

Dude this video is so inspiring. You make the BIA dance, the thing is so much fun I forget everything it can do. Great video!

Hey man, never heard about your channel, first video I saw. Amazing stuff, best video on the Basimilus I could find!

lots of bia videos out there, but this one does the best job of explaining the features and variations. great work!

Great video, super helpful - great demonstration too - thank you

Definitely a great video. There's one of these waiting in my mailbox right now.

Great module, great video. Serious bass, it also shows how nice ripples sounds

This is defo one of my favourite modules. I did an amazing experiment random modulating it. I made a 100 sound sample pack then started making tracks out of nothing but the vast and bizarre sounds I got out of it. So inspiring. I need to do it with the Taiko next.

Ordered one before watching. Can't wait.

Nice one. I love this thing too.

I just ordered mine. I just had to have it especially after watching this video! [EDIT 5 days later] I got it in yesterday and OMG! It's friggin' amazing!!

Love the idea of this in lieu of a collection of individual perc modules. Boy I would love to see this paired with something like Clank Chaos.

Your videos are great! Keep it up man!

So.. I saw your video.. Decided to buy this one for some bassline and percussion. I didn't really knew what to expect...after using it, I can say: I need a second one. The kickdrum this thing brings is out of this world. Especially for industrial - techno, with only one touch you go from a oh-this-is-a-nice-kick to a fuck-this-is-raw-kick. Perfect for live gigs. But now I still need a percussion machine

Great review, thanks

Bass sounds on this are sick. Definitely sold me on it.

Sounds great. Excellent video as well BTW.

your reactions and commentary is priceless! =)

Hey Enrique I have two of those modules and love them. Hexinverter has got Mutant Brains coming out, which has Midi in and CV/gate out perfect for your Akai MPC 4000 I haven't bought one yet but I plan on it to use in conjunction with the MPC.

when he does the "ooomf!" - i dig it man!

That module can literally kill crowds and that's a good thing. I love it, I have three in my set up atm. Also I love the coffee, I can smell it...

Your videos are so tasteful, your voice is amazing and your whole style is perfect for this type of video. Thank you for your work! I am a little more interested in the "dark brother" Manis Iteritas, but still... BIA is a beast!

This video texture is nice. It's rather early 90s late night infomercial. I like it. It's like sweetened coffee creamer.

like the look of that setup, you have it up on modulargrid?

Thinking of picking one up as a first oscillator starting my modular journey

I always wondered if I can get my Korg "monologue" to sound similar to the "B.I.A." Cuz the Korg "monologue" make something of a good drum machine and you could have 4 lanes of motion control?

Hi mate great video. Is the Quadra being triggered by the clock and sending an envelope to the BIA, or free running? Thanks

Great video! The BIA is definitely joining my rack. While I have 2 sequencers (the 2hp and a keystep) which could be used as the main trigger and pitch, I'm curious to know if I could hook up MI Grids to trigger some of the many CV inputs on the BIA. Would that work?

(9:45) "lets get back to skin" - amazing bass!

I call massive peer pressure on consumer goods across the board~ !!!! Yes Awesome vid! Yes I probably will head over and put yet another module in the wishlist...Guh, yer vidya'z are addictive!

Great demo

excellent walk through

Excellent demo! :-)

Well done Ricky :)

Have the black panels changed from matte black to glossy black? I ordered one off Perfect Circuit and it was very glossy than I expected from videos of the matte black texture on the front panals ive watched on youtube.

Love the reaction at 9:45...BOOM!

great ... thanx!

Hi Enrique great video, I hadn’t thought to use the metropolis in this way , will be giving it a try . I put gates from circadian rhythms into morph and fold which would add amazing dimensions to this patch , gonna give it a try tonight me thinks .🛸🛸🛸

I do need one of these...

I couldn't find one in Australia so got the Tymp legio. Theb they came back into stock so I will just have to get both. Tymp can be used to duck as well as make drum sounds but you can also change the furmware out and make it a dynamics processor or an oscilator instead. It makes great basslines as though.

Are you usung that sequencer for pitch, gates, or both? I just bought a BIA and I wonder If I can use my Qu-Bit Bloom since it has both pitch and gates?

Dope, would love to put together my own rack one day

Do you have a video focusing on the intellijel metropolis? Thanks for this vid!

Sold! I’ve seen a couple other vids on the BIA, but this one definitely gave me GAS for this module. Great job.

i recently picked one of these up and i am finding it to be really harsh sounding when compared to my analog sounds sources. Any tips on how to get it to blend better?

hey man great vid! what case do you use for your modular gear? looks super handy

Loved it, pretty much went “ouuuh” at the same times as you 😄. Sold!

You are so good

Cool video and great sounds! Is the quadra the only modulation source? And why are there 2 cables plugged into the trig input?

Does it remind you of the sounds people are getting out of the DFAM?

Honestly, why do noise Engineering modules lend themselves to techno so well? perfect partners in every way.

@7:06 ""Flash! Ah-ah...He'll save every one of us!"

What case are you using?

What modul gives the trigger in the very left of the case?

Steal a man's wallet and he will be poor for a week. Tech him music and how to buy instruments and he will be poor for his entire lifetime.

Hey dude! Have you used the Manis Iteritas yet?

My next module

Great video, what camera are you using ?

Do more module stuuuffff!!

Convinced :-)

Dont you just hate when you make a video and you can hear your breathing over everything? Thanks for the breakdown Ricky! Going to build myself a Skiff with the BIA and the Manis. :)

I know I'm late, but i just started building my first modular and the basimilus is my first voice module and it is fucking ridiculous. i guess i am a rack addict now...

I went to my local shop with a massive wall rack filled with all their modules for sale and had a go with it and the Rene from make noise. Was reallllly hard to come out of there without one but the price is 🔥 🔥 🔥 even though I think it can pretty much replace like 4 other modules by itself. I need to figure out how the fuck am I gonna afford one because I’m definitely gonna buy one sooner or later.

damn it! i have managed to stay away from the BIA for years, and then the algorithm gave me this video. 5 minutes later I'm broke and waiting for a BIA....

Holy shit, your videos are #aesthetic as fuck! :D Goals material indeed. Hopefully my NE Manis Iteritas video can look a 10th as good as these. Glad I stumbled upon your channel :)

BIA is freaking awsome!

oh yeah. =)

One basimilus and one cursus iteritas percidio, and a handful of functions and I'm done.

I just got a beatstep pro and I was thinking about trying to sequence it with that, what do you think? Or shall I also buy a Pamela's new workout? How do you mute the different sounds from the BIA?

This thing is incredible...What would be the most cost effective (cheap) way of putting one together. I need a case with power so that's like $200 the module is $350 I still need ADSR module, output module, filter mod, pitch mod. I don't need EFX yet. What would I need to generate sound at least. I could externally trigger it if need be.

9:45 wow

9:54 or so.... woooo!

At 5:07 FLASH! WHAA-AHHHH!

What kind of modulation, if any, is being applied to the filter when you jam?

are you the one dude from Das Racist?

fuck yeah I'm getting at LEAST one of these nasty beasts. Best vid I've seen on this yet thanks man!

Crazy thing is, this thing is actually so limited sonically, and yet its likely the only and most popular digital FM synth with additional wavefolding. The main problem with FM is that it's 99% miss and 1% hit, as well as being really difficult to navigate oneself, so to package such a thing in a Module would be very unpopular - even though it permits the user with the veritable possibility of designing their own and indeed new FM sounds. The alternate is to offer readymades, though this would then have to be designed by only a few developers and thus likely not strike everyone the same. I think this is the move however, as well as offering the additional wavefolding, because even though WF'ers often have a single or a few algorihtms only, they tend to compliment FM sounds and add that extra layer of movement or personalization. Granted they often sound liek trash, which I have no idea why that is.

Actually watching this video when the knock on the door announced my BIA’s arrival. I may have to go play before the end, sorry..

Did my wallet dirty with this one Ricky

Serious GAS for a BIA ;-D

I got the BIA a few weeks ago, and I didn’t realise how important a filter is to make it work. Without a filter, a lot of the sound shaping features like fold and harmonics produce are just not nuanced enough to be useful. With a filter you can tame it first and then go as crazy as you want whenever you want. Got a bit disappointed at first because I got the Manis Iteritas as well and that is an excellent single module voice, the BIA not quite as much.

😳

sorry but i mean you make house and i cant even imagine this as a bassline in a housey way? also the input is a note on every step, i thought you disliked that since the PO 400?
